hmmm, I'll have to go re-read the system specs for subversion, I didn't know they got it working on windows, last time I checked the SERVER only ran on linux, the tortoise svn client was a shell integration svn client for windows, embedding itself right into the windows explorer ui in the context menus

I am running into way too many problems with this version control stuff.

I don't think that's the problem, I can do this kind of stuff normally. Basically, here's what my deal is. I'm trying to set up a repository to use for my projects that I work on at school. The local drive is protected by fortress or something, and I can not install anything on it or do much with it. I am given space on a network drive where I store my projects. I got the svn binaries onto my space on the network drive and set up a repository there. I don't know any stand alone svn client that I would be able to install, and lots of random problems involving the repository directory layout.

Tonto, you can set up a local repository with no problems using a client app, setting a repository up for remote access requires installing the server itself. From what you have said, I don't think you have the server.

if the school has one, you should be able to connect to it from anywhere, with your valid student login, so you wouldn't need to iinstall the server to gain access to the repository.
